Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. In talking with Ken in those last days, about every other week or so it became clear to me he had a very special family who was looking after him. Ken was a very close friend to me, actually he was more like a brother to me. Back in the day when we use to live in Rockford, we spent untold hours at the Rockford Health Club working out together, Ken, Alfredo and myself so became very close. Along with that we were always helping each other out with different projects. We were there for each other. One memory I have of him was a trip we made to northern Minnesota to the Boundary Waters fishing and canoeing for a week, a great time together. In talking with him a couple months back he told me he had found the Lord and I was so happy for him. He is truly at home forever with the Lord. He will be dearly missed.
